Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Pankin said on Friday that his country may respond to sanctions the United States may impose on its sovereign debt, but this is not an end in itself.
United Nations – .. In response to a question posed by a journalist about Moscow's possible actions in the event of the United States imposing sanctions on Russia's sovereign debt, Pankin said:
This may not be left unanswered, but the task is not to respond as a blow to a blow, but to adapt to these sanctions and to find other partners, as well as to find ways to circumvent these sanctions.
"Since these sanctions are illegal, we consider them non-binding, and here and other countries have the right not to be considered as binding," he added.
The US House of Representatives has approved an amendment to the draft military budget for 2020 by banning American citizens from engaging in any dealings with Russia's sovereign religion in the event of interference in US elections. However, this amendment was not adopted as a final text in this document, since this amendment must be discussed by the Coordination Committee for approval of this text by the GOP representatives who, in turn, formulate their party's position on the military budget.
